“A compassionate light drama about the uneven path we all must take on the road to self-discovery, C.O.G. offers one lovely, heartfelt scene after another.”

—Screen International

Adapted from a chapter in David Sedaris’ superb story collection
Naked (the first filmed version of Sedaris’ work),
C.O.G. stars musical theater and TV star Jonathan Groff
(Spring Awakening and Glee) as David, a recent
Yale grad who gets his hands dirty at an Oregon apple orchard in a
vainglorious search for Thoreau-esque self-discovery. When his best
friend and would-be fellow apple picker bails on him, he seeks
companionship from a series of mentors (each scarier than the last)
who provide harsh lessons on faith, friendship, love, and identity.
Charming and witty as the young hero, Groff is the perfect
mouthpiece for Sedaris’ indelible voice, and writer-director
Alvarez imbues the story with heartbreak and a surprising degree of
darkness.
